Lauro Moscardini (born October 30, 1961) is an Italian astrophysicist and cosmologist. Moscardini has studied N-body cosmological simulations with non-Gaussian initial conditions. The research activity is mainly focussed in the field of theoretical and observational cosmology, in particular with the application of numerical techniques in astrophysics and the study of the formation of large cosmic structures. Moscardini's research is a mixture of observations and building models of large scale structures in the universe.

Two spiral galaxies are locked in a spellbinding, swirling dance in this image from the VIMOS instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). The two interacting galaxies — NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 — together form an intriguing astronomical object named Arp 271, the subject of this, the final image captured by VIMOS before it was decommissioned on 24 March 2018.
